Havoc Shield Asset Inventory is a tool for cataloging the hardware and software assets that make up an organization's infrastructure. Users can add new assets by filling in a set of descriptive fields, and the tool supports the creation of custom asset categories to reflect the specific structure of an organization's infrastructure. The inventory helps organizations identify what assets they have, who is authorized to use them, what risks those assets represent, and where they are located. This information supports risk assessment efforts and can assist incident responders during a security event. The tool is also relevant for compliance and customer assurance purposes, as larger customers and auditors may request proof of an accurate asset inventory as part of evaluating an organization's security preparedness.
